http://www.overclock.net/blogs/mrq/ An overclocking forum devoted to maximizing the performance of graphics cards, CPUs, motherboards, RAM and everything else found inside your computer case. en Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:04:08 GMT vBulletin 1 http://static.overclock.net/images/oc/misc/rss.jpg http://www.overclock.net/blogs/mrq/ http://www.overclock.net/blogs/mrq/387-after-fact.html Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:37:08 GMT Ok after a week or so of monitoring my system and plaing some demanding games, it appears my system is 99.9% stable. Which is really good!

Now onto the quest for more! I don't really plan on overclocking anymore on this board since it seems physically impossible, but I am going to expand its other hardware. I really am hoping for another 8800GTS for my birthday this month so I can run SLI. I have dreamed of doing that for years. (I know pathetic)

On a side note, people please remember to dream. I dreamed about Blue Flood (my computer) year after year, never having the means to make it happen. But it did happen and I am happy. It meets my needs and I continue to push it harder. One day I may redo this computer, but not for a while. If you would like to read more on my build visit somethingforfun.blogspot.com .

Thanks all. ]]> MrQ http://www.overclock.net/blogs/mrq/387-after-fact.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/mrq/344-3-0ghz-woohoo.html Tue, 04 Mar 2008 17:00:47 GMT Thanks to diddler I made it to 3ghz and am really happy now. Temps are such: Idle: 38-45C Load: 50-56C Check out my sig for my CPU-Z. I am currently waiting on my aftermarket HS to bring the temps down some more.

I had no problem playing Crysis last night. That was a lot of fun. Next step 3.2ghz!! ]]> MrQ http://www.overclock.net/blogs/mrq/344-3-0ghz-woohoo.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/mrq/340-time-overclock.html Mon, 03 Mar 2008 21:09:30 GMT Oh, man I am trying to wait patiently for my Corasir XMS ram to come and my Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro. hooo *goosebumps*. Anyway if you haven't met me in posts I am going for the Holy Grail of 3ghz for the Q6600 on my P5N-E SLI. I know, I know :rolleyes: "its not worth it get a P5K or something with a P35 intel chipset." You won't believe how many times thats come up.

Well, I appreciate your advice, but sometimes you gotta face a challenge head on and so I do.:boxing3:

To prep for this OC weekend I am going to downgrade my BIOS from 0803 to 0608 which I have heard is the absolute best for overclocking. YES!! I am using the instructions provided by deddler in this post here .

Wish me good fortune, or I could seriously screw up. Here goes nothin.... ]]> MrQ http://www.overclock.net/blogs/mrq/340-time-overclock.html
